Directions:Cake:
Preheat oven to 325° F. Grease and flour a 10" Bundt cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 cups sugar, salt, cream of tartar, baking powder and baking soda.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, blend in (meaning, into the DRY mixture) the coffee creamer, 1 cup of butter, 2 teaspoons of vanilla and 4 eggs. Beat for 3 minutes at medium speed.
Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean.
Prick holes in the cake while it is still warm (I use the handle of a wooden spoon - nothing too huge - can also use a wooden skewer).
Slowly pour the butter sauce over cake making sure it gets in all of the holes. Let cake cool completely before removing from pan.
Running a knife along the edges first helps the cake come out cleanly.
Butter Sauce:
In a saucepan combine the ¾ cups sugar, ⅓ cup butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and the coffee creamer. Cook over medium heat, until fully melted and combined, but do not the mixture boil.
Salted Caramel (if making homemade):
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, without stirring.
If necessary, use a wet pastry brush to wash down any crystals on the side of the pan. Boil until the syrup is a deep amber color, about 6-8 minutes.
Remove the sugar from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream.
The mixture will bubble. Stir in the unsalted butter, and salt. Transfer the caramel to a dish and cool. Drizzle/pour over the cake.
You may have some leftover - use it over ice cream! |
